GlacialTech Igloo 5760 CPU Cooler Review

GlacialTech have successfully build a very cheap, easy to install and good looking little CPU cooler; it is mostly intended for environments that do not imply overclocking. In the performed tests, however, even if on the package it was listed that the i5 750 CPU is supported with its stock 2.66GHz frequency, I could do 3.2GHz without problems at all and with decent temperatures too, in both IDLE and Full Load.

All the back plates can be glued properly on the side that makes direct contact with the motherboard to allow an easier installation:

From left to right, we can see the LGA1156, LGA775 and LGA1366 back plates:
